University of Texas at Austin Reviews in Austin, TX

Current Employee – been working at University of Texas at Austin full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Most people are laid back. Relative job security/stability. Excellent health insurance (UT is self-funded). Good paid-time-off.

Cons – Some people are annoyingly "quirky" (many people working here are only here because they aren't normal enough to hold down a job in the private sector). Most software development involves 30+ year old 4GL/databases.
